Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a novel process for the preparation of metal mesoporphyrin halides that overcomes difficulties in previous methods. This process involves the use of a novel intermediate compound, a mesoporphyrin formate, which can be isolated in a pure form and then converted to a metal mesoporphyrin halide. The purification of the intermediate compound can be carried out on an industrial scale. The invention also provides a process for the purification of metal mesoporphyrin halides by dissolving them in a basic solution, treating them with charcoal, and precipitating them with an acid solution. The resulting metal mesoporphyrin halide is then dried to obtain a pharmaceutical grade pure product."

Problems solved by technology

This process is reported to reduce the amount of the unidentified impurity; however, the reaction is difficult to drive to completion without decomposition of the intermediate product.
Additionally, those methods in which hydrogenation is carried out at lower temperatures yield incomplete reactions, and when higher temperatures are used, degradation of the intermediate product is observed.
Furthermore, the above referenced procedures require exceedingly high solvent volumes, thus making the process unsuitable for industrial scale up, since isolation of mesoporphyrin IX dihydrochloride or its free base is performed using a filtration process.
Such filtrations and subsequent washings of the products are time-consuming, making the large-scale isolations costly and difficult.
Additionally, the limited stability of mesoporphyrin IX in hydrochloric acid at the elevated temperatures required to form the dihydrochloride also complicates the industrial scale up of this process.

[0033]Preparation of Mesoporphyrin IX Formate

[0034]A 2000 ml hydrogenation vessel was charged with 40.0 g hemin, 4.0 g 5% Pd / C (50% water by weight), and 800 ml 96% formic acid. Since hemin and mesoporphyrin IX formate as well as all reaction intermediates are reportedly light sensitive materials, care was taken throughout this entire procedure to minimize the exposure of the reaction to visible or ultraviolet light.

[0035]The vessel was flushed with a nitrogen flow for 10 minutes. With vigorous stirring, it was then pressurized to 50 psi with hydrogen for ten minutes; then depressurized, and the cycle repeated. The vessel was further pressurized to 50 psi with hydrogen and the temperature was raised to 90° C. over approximately 20 minutes.

[0036]The hydrogenation reaction was maintained at 90° C. and 45-55 psi for 1-1.5 hours. The reaction mixture was not stable for extended periods of time at 90° C. The time at this temperature was sufficient to dissolve all hemin and convert the ma...

[0038]Preparation of Substantially Pure Tin Mesoporphyrin Chloride (Tin (IV) Mesoporphyrin IX Dichloride or Stannsoporfin).

[0039]A dark 1000 ml three-necked, round-bottom flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, condenser, bubbler, and an aeration tube was charged with 30.0 g mesoporphyrin IX formate, 34.5 g tin (II) chloride, 7.1 g ammonium acetate, and 600 ml acetic acid. The suspension was stirred at 20-25° C. for 30 minutes. Mesoporphyrin IX formate and tin mesoporphyrin as well as all reaction intermediates are reportedly light sensitive materials therefore care was taken throughout this entire procedure to minimize the exposure of the reaction to light.

[0040]The reaction was warmed to reflux, with aeration, for 3 to 4 hours. The reaction was shown to be stable at 110-115° C. for up to 48 hours. Once complete, the reaction mixture was cooled to 60-70° C. and 300 ml water was added while cooling to 20-25° C. over 60 minutes. The suspension was filtered under reduced pressure. T...

[0041]Further Purification of Crude, Substantially Pure Tin (IV) Mesoporphyrin Chloride (Tin (IV) Mesoporphyrin IX Dichloride or Stannsoporfin).

[0042]A darkened, 250 ml, one-neck, round-bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirbar and nitrogen purge was charged with: 10.0 g tin (IV) mesoporphyrin chloride (tin (IV) mesoporphyrin IX dichloride), 125 ml water, and 4 ml 28% ammonium hydroxide, a sufficient amount of ammonium hydroxide to adjust the pH to 9.0-10.0. The suspension was stirred at 20-25° C. for 20-30 minutes to effect dissolution. As tin (IV) mesoporphyrin is light sensitive, dark conditions were maintained throughout this reaction sequence.

[0043]The flask was charged with 0.5 g Darco KB, and a 1.5 g Celite. The dark suspension was stirred at 20-25° C. for 1 hour. The suspension was filtered under reduced pressure through a bed of celite using a 5.5 cm Buchner funnel. The flask and filtercake were rinsed with 2×10 ml water. A dark, 1L, one-neck, round-bottom flask equippe...

Abstract

A method of preparing metal mesoporphyrin compounds is described. A metal mesoporphyrin compound may be formed by forming a novel mesoporphyrin IX intermediate compound and then converting the mesoporphyrin IX intermediate to a metal mesoporphyrin compound through metal insertion. The novel intermediate compound may be formed by a catalytic hydrogenation of hemin in acid and subsequent recovery.
